And having this confidence, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your advancement and joy of faith,

Only let your conduct be as becomes the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you, or else am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all.

and be found in Him; not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but through the faith of Christ, the righteousness of God by faith,
